TRB Hutong

This level of French cuisine is located in a historic place where a great living Buddha once lived. It is cost-effective. Each dish is very beautiful and has rich flavors. The two restaurant managers, a Chinese and a foreigner, are very professional. The difference between the dishes they introduced and those introduced by the intern girl is obvious. The most surprising pork chop of all the dishes really tastes like beef. I like the chef's control of the heat.

We recently dined at the TRB Hutong on our wedding day, it was an absolute pleasure. The staff were incredibly attentive and we were made to feel welcome immediately. We were shown to the best table in the restaurant and invited to a glass of champagne by the very impressive head waiter. We then proceeded to be presented with a taster menu of what I can only describe as ‘works of art’. The dishes were incredible, immaculately presented and each with their own interesting, personal stories described by the chef, Luke Armstrong. We were honored to be joined by Luke briefly to present our dessert course, despite what I imagine was a busy evening for him, he was very charming and personable. He gifted my wife a sugar rose crafted by one of his students and gave me probably the best chocolate cake I’ve ever tasted. The staff then put a cherry on top of the whole evening by presenting us with two printed photos of us at the table enjoying the food. It was an absolutely incredible experience that we’ll never forget, we recommend anyone who has the means to dine at this restaurant.

Stewed beef with roasted potatoes is a must for potato lovers. The potatoes are stewed until they are soft and powdery, and the flavor has completely seeped in. The amount of beef is not much, but it is soft and tasty, and I like it very much.

I have heard about TRB located on Shatan North Street, Dongcheng District for a long time. First of all, the location is very convenient. It can be reached by bus No. 58, No. 685, No. 11, etc., or by Metro Line 6. There are many parking spaces around the restaurant, but it is emphasized that you must park nearby. If you park at the door of the restaurant, it will be inconvenient because the alley is narrow, so parking will be more difficult, but whether you drive or take the bus, it will not cause you trouble in traveling. This restaurant is very distinctive. It is a relatively high-end French restaurant in an ancient temple. When it comes to restaurants in temples, you know that in addition to the restaurant itself, the temple must also be a scenic spot. Indeed, due to the location of the restaurant, there is a very quiet and leisurely feeling. It is generally felt that the food in the temple is mainly halal, but in such an environment, eating a French meal, it can be seen that the feeling is not hard to imagine, and it has a special flavor. Because of the environment and market positioning of the restaurant, many people come to try it. Although there is no long waiting line at the door of some popular small shops on the street, it will not be very noisy, but if you don't make a reservation in advance, you will still face the problem of waiting for a seat, and French food generally has a slow turnover rate, so it is recommended that you book a seat in advance so that you can eat smoothly. The service of the restaurant is really in place, not to mention the enthusiasm, thoughtful and considerate, and everything you can think of is thought of, and the language is very polite, which is very consistent with the overall style of the restaurant. Therefore, through experience, I can't understand why many people like to come to his house and have high praise for him. Sometimes, after commenting on a restaurant that is particularly good, they even add a sentence that it is not as good as TRB. Now I really understand it after experiencing it. The per capita consumption of the restaurant is about 500 yuan, which is a relatively authentic French restaurant. Those who like French food can come to experience it. Recommended dishes are duck liver and salmon, which are fresh and taste good.

The environment is very pretentious. The ancient temple is decorated with modern elements. The manager came from the Bru Palace. The service is not too attentive! In addition to the braided garlic bread, the appetizers are delicious. They have been delivering various appetizers, during meals, and after meals. 6 or 7 dishes were delivered in one meal. The portion is exquisite, but the taste is very good. It is very enjoyable. Before leaving, homemade jam is also delivered~ The handsome boss looks like a strong version of Beckham. The crab meat of the treasure crab salad is so sweet and fresh. The passion fruit brings out the freshness. The avocado roll adds rich and smooth flavor. The veal ribs are soft and tender and melt in the mouth. The spinach and cheese dumplings have the fresh fragrance of wild shepherd's purse. There are large fish roe in the lobster mousse with green tea milk foam. The cheese puffs are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The molten brownie is warm and soft. The thick and smooth exudes a slight bitterness and instantly conquers the taste buds. The lemon tart is sweet and sour without being astringent. Overall, the taste is quite good, and the price is a little expensive but acceptable. .

I've been there three times. The first time I went, the door curtain was small and I had to call to find it. The view from the window is good during the day. It's a combination of Chinese and Western. Remember not to drive, it's very difficult to park. The pre-meal snacks are delicious. I ate corn muffins again. Maybe it's because they are baked without sugar, I'm not used to it. The service is very good. There are many foreigners or Chinese at dinner time. The whole atmosphere is similar to the mid-to-high-end restaurants in Europe. Foreigners come relatively late, and they all come to eat after 8 o'clock in the evening. For food, I ordered a beef bone marrow for the first dish. The first bite was fragrant and rich. After eating it, wow, it was stuffy (blame me for being greedy and wanting to finish it in one bite). Even if you order a four-course dinner, with the free macarons after the meal, don't look at the small portion, it's completely full. There is a small disadvantage that the cooking level fluctuates after three meals. Maybe when there are many people, the seasoning and heat cannot be fully controlled. The plating is consistent and beautiful. However, compared with the price, dishes, service, environment and several other well-known French restaurants, the price-performance ratio is very high!

It was my first time eating here. Let's not talk about the taste first, the service was really great. Not only was everyone very nice, but the whole team was also very cooperative and good at chatting with customers. There were snacks and aperitifs before ordering. Later, I ordered 3 courses and my boyfriend ordered 4 courses, but they also gave me a potato soup. After the meal, they specially gave us a chocolate cake with "welcome to TRB" written on it and took a photo for us as a souvenir. There were also small snacks before leaving. The meals were all creative, and I especially liked the appetizers and desserts.

I haven't been to TRB for a long time. I booked a private room two days in advance. The environment is nice. I ordered the caviar set meal. The ingredients are very fresh. It is mainly seafood, so the portions are quite small. It is just right for dinner. It is very delicate. I ordered a bottle of red wine, which is also very delicious. I wanted to add another bottle, but it was out of stock... When I mentioned my birthday next week during the chat, the waiter quietly brought a cake. It's thoughtful...
